Cliff became published in high school in the early 90′s, through his Creative Writing class, when he won third in a young adult Methodist magazine for a short story he wrote called “Role Reversal.”

Even though he wrote a lot during the intervening years and submitted to various contests such as the Writers of the Future and the Star Trek New Worlds contests, Cliff didn’t publish anything again until 2008 and first novel was Out of Time. Since 2008, Cliff has published sixteen novels, two boxed set, and four short stories as of 2016. Cliff’s genres are varied, he has written science fiction/alternate history/time travel, political and End Times thrillers, and even a western short story. His novels are clean reads and can be read by anyone.

Cliff’s life verse is from Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not into thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
